To all whom itmay f Be it known that I, DARWIN T. BnIGGs, of the cityl and'county of AjA .lban'y, State of New York, have vin- 'vented a new and improved Burner, for burningthe petroline-iuid,andotber uids and light oils, in locomotive head-lights, and for other-purposes; and I do hereby declare' that the following is a full, clear, and' exact description of the same, reference being 'had to Figure 1 is aperspecnve view Figure 2 is the upper view. Y* Figure 3 is a central vertical sectioin' This invention relates to an improvementl in lampburners designedffor locomotive head-lights,an'd for Vother purposes; and

It consists in the arrangement of air-deilectors, with reference to the tube which conducts the'gas from the oil-reservoir to the Wicl`ti1bf e.`

Letter O, in same figure, represents the main tube,

Letters D D; in same gure, represent gas-tubes connected with main tub.-

Letters O D, fig. 3, represent both the wick-tube and gas-tubes.

Letter E, in iig. 3, represents a disconnection of the wick-tube, forming alperiet gascharnber, the combination of which, with main tube and the gas-tubes, insures a steady and safe escape of all surplus gas to the flame at top of the main tube, whereit sjconsumed, adding rnuch to the strength and brilianoy of the light.
